Synopsis (short abstract) These course notes intend to provide a broad and generic background to the prosecution of fisheries offences in the IOC Smartfish project region. The challenge of such a task is not only the fact that there are 19 different sets of legislation, but also that the countries have different legal systems. The intention, and hope, is that the countries which have a need for a more comprehensive and country-specific guide to the prosecution of fisheries offences, will use these class notes as a backgr ound and framework to develop a guide.

    Implementation of a Regional Fisheries Strategy ESA-IO 2012

    This report addresses a key result area of the SmartFish programme. Component 4 identifies a ‘Trade Readiness Document (TRD)’ as the main output in this context. From the points of view of generating regional value added and to support food security, intra-regional trade in fish products should be encouraged and expanded. The TRD study aims to assist the process of enhancing regional trade in fish products by improving Trade Readiness in the 20 SmartFish countries. The report is, however, a pilo t study based on work in four selected countries. The findings would then be used to design and carry out a full study of the 20 countries based on an adapted Trade Readiness Questionnaire (TRQ). The main activities included discussions with public sector authorities that constitute the trade enabling environment, and interviews with the private sector operators active in the fish product value chain. Region Economic Communities (RECs) such as COMESA and IOC have been consulted regarding strateg ic visions, to ensure that the outcome of the TRD study is in tandem. Additional information and ideas have been extrapolated from other SmartFish interventions and from broader assessments made by international bodies to deepen context.

    MCS for Patrol Vessels Course 2012
    Also available in:

    The MCS for Patrol Vessels course has been designed to form one of a set of one-week courses aimed at increasing effective fisheries compliance in the Eastern and Southern African and Indian Ocean (ESA-IO) Region. The courses are intended to have a wide and general application across the varied conditions and capacities in the region. To facilitate this, a system of course development based on competency based training has been utilised. This works through blocks of learning called 'learning out comes' that are then broken down into 'learning tasks'. This approach, whilst stating clearly what the content of the course will be and what a student should understand, also leaves flexibility for the instructor to adapt the learning tasks to be appropriate for local situations.
